lies.

the party had a campaign and steve decided to let them do it at our house, which was fine to me since billy's stepsister was in the party, which means i would get to see him. i grinned wildly at that thought. i hadn't seen him for at least a week, considering i've been sick as a dog. he always said he would come over and take care of me but i told him no because i didn't wanna get him sick. i picked up my phone to text billy.

c-|hey! are you bringing max down here for the campaign the party's throwing?

yeah max said it was like a swimming party or something like that. is it?|-b

c-|yeah it is but we don't have to go swimming if you don't want to we can always just stay inside:)

nonono we're going swimming princess. i'll see you in 20.;)|-b

i felt like a two year old who just got their birthday presents. i was smiling like an idiot and i didn't care. eventually i heard kids talking downstairs so i walked down to see dustin, mike, and will all sitting at the kitchen table. "chloe!" dustin yelled out, wrapping me in a hug. me and dustin were always really close, just like him and steve were. "hey dustin." i said smiling. as more of the kids showed up max eventually did, billy following right behind her with a smirk on his face once he saw me.

i grinned and walked up to him, wrapping my arms around his neck. "i missed you" i muttered only where he could hear me. "i missed you too princess." he said whispering in my ear. eventually all eyes were on us and dustin did not look happy. "really?! that douchebag is the guy you choose to date out of the whole school?!" dustin says, throwing his arms in the air. it was all pretty obvious by now that dustin had a crush on me. "ok ok dustin let's calm down here-" steve said but was cut off by billy. "don't worry kid, i don't plan on hurting her anytime soon." he said wrapping his arms around my waist, with his head on mine. "that's besides the point. we all know what you did to steve, at least i think we do." dustin says, looking at me, causing me to look at billy. "what does he mean?" i asked, genuinely curious now.

steve and dustin started arguing about where this was about to go when dustin says, "billy literally almost KILLED steve in a fight last year. it was when you were in rehab chloe." i stood shocked, looking at billy with a blank expression. "listen princess-" but i cut him off. "go upstairs. now. then we'll talk." i said as he walked upstairs. the party looked shocked that i held that much power   over the big bad and scary billy hargrove. "chloe-" dustin started but i just ignored him and walked upstairs. "shit steve i think i messed up saying that.." i heard dustin say faintly.

"are you serious?" i said to him as i closed my door. "listen to me chlo-" he started. "no no no. you mean to tell me that while i was in rehab, way before we even met, you almost killed my brother? the only family i have left basically?" i said, tears forming in my eyes. "baby listen. please." billy said, walking towards me. "no. i don't want to hear any fucking petty excuses. you could've killed him, for christs sake billy!" i said, tears now falling down my face. billy just looked at me. "please chloe, just listen to me" he said. "god i don't even know if you're gonna tell the truth or not considering downstairs you claimed that 'you weren't gonna hurt me anytime soon' guess that was a lie huh." i said blankly. i could see tears forming in billy's eyes. "fine. don't listen to me. but if you ask your brother there is a damn good reason why that fucking fight happened." he said walking out the door and down the stairs.
